Paris-Nice

Start lists all but confirmed, but there are some last minute changes coming through. Most notably right now is the absence of Alejandro Valverde who has been announced as suffering from fever. He's been replaced by Victor De La Parte, but presumably Movistar's race objectives have significantly shifted.

Couple of last minute changes going in, but nothing too serious.

Danny Van Poppel is out for Sky, replaced by Sebastien Henao. Elissonde is also out, replaced by Golas.

What is happening to the young rider jersey? Paris Nice official site says (under rules) that there is one, but has not included it in the classifications. Cycling news lists "the best young rider". I see that it hasn't been scored.

Well I thought that was weird too. We have it in the scoring options but the Tour website and PCS doesn't include it. Not sure what the consensus is here.

Matsport also shows young rider jersey list, and it is usually the "go to" site. I reckon the official website hasn't changed its software from last year when there wasn't a young rider jersey. My opinion is that we should score it, since we said we would, and all indications are that it is "real". But we need to let players know, since it will affect team selection.

Minor updates to the stage scores for stages 4, 6 and 7. The mountains points for the finish line have been removed as per competition rules. That was an error on my part as we were unsure whether we should score these or not.

Was wondering where some of my points had vanished to, especially considerin i lost the overall by 4 points. At least it was to another Irishman (though that means i dont win Ireland overall either). Anyways it was an incredible week of racing, from bruising start to agonising finish. Ireland 1, 2 in the fantasy world, Dan Martin 3rd in the real world and SammyB's stunning stage win. Yeah, i enjoyed that. Rob.
